Categories     condiments, project

Time 6m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup fresh lemon verbena leaves, lightly packed (about 2 6-inch sprigs)
1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar (sold in Asian food stores)
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon chopped shallot
Dash Tabasco
6 grinds black pepper

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients in a blender (not a food processor); blend on high speed for several minutes. Strain mixture through a fine sieve, pressing any solids dry with the back of a spoon. Pour it into a small container and freeze until solid, about 6 hours.
  • To serve, scrape the ice lightly with a soup spoon to create a flaky texture similar to that of a granite. Serve immediately alongside or atop 20 to 24 freshly shucked oysters on the half shell.

This lemon verbena ice was a delightful addition to my oyster dish. The citrusy flavor perfectly complemented the briny oysters, and the ice kept them chilled and refreshing.
